our stint with interiors began last month when we moved into our new home.

after visiting a few stores and talking to a couple of interior designers about what can be done with the space,have picked up some thumb rules that are basics of interior designing

2.     theme houses look thoughtful – antique / festive / ethnic / sporty

3.     material of furniture and accessories should be the same throughout, steel / wrought iron / wood

4.     light coloured furniture allows for more variety of colours in accessories.

5.     light coloured walls make rooms appear bright.

6.     prints or textured paints on wall make the accessories in that area stand out.

7.     these days, lot of people get ceilings made too… three to four levels of false ceilings like lobbys in hotels etc.

8.     donot buy things without necessity as the house gets cluttered unncecessarily.

The couple threw the drawers into a taxi, took them up to their in East Harlem and turned them into wall-mounted storage.”

The New York Times posted an article entitled Thinking Like A Student which highlights some really creative home design ideas, like the one above. I might use slightly shallower drawers though.
